The desert model emphasises the degree of seriousness of the offender's crime in deciding the severity of his punishment, and has become increasingly influential in recent penal practice and scholarly debate. It explains why sentences should be based principally on crime-seriousness, and addresses, among other topics, how a desert-based penalty scheme can be constructed; how to gauge punishments' seriousness and penalties' severity; what weight should be given to an offender's previous convictions; how non-custodial sentences should be scaled; and what leeway there might be for taking other factors into account, such as an offender's need for treatment. This volume will be of interest to all those working in penal theory and practice, criminal sentencing and the criminal law more generally."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Proportionality in lawPunishmentPhilosophySentences (Criminal procedure)Criminal law & procedureProportionality in law.PunishmentPhilosophy.Sentences (Criminal procedure)345/.0772Von Hirsch Andrew280363UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910159437303321Deserved criminal sentences2788294UNINA
